Mitt Romney Predicts Donald Trump Will Win Re-Election
Mitt Romney has predicted that President Donald Trump will "easily" grab the Republican Party’s nomination and win re-election in 2020.
Romney’s comments were made to a group of GOP donors Thursday evening in Utah, according to a Politico report, where he was hosting his annual E2 Summit that brings together politicians and donors. This year the guest list included House Speaker Paul Ryan, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz.
"I think President Trump will be re-nominated by my party easily, and I think he’ll be reelected solidly,” Romney said.
To back up his claims, Romney pointed to Trump’s biggest political accomplishment to date: the rapidly growing economy. Unemployment hit an 18-year low in May falling to 3.8 percent with black and Hispanic unemployment reaching record lows.
Romney also speculated that another reason Trump will most likely win a second term is that he believes that the Democratic Party will select a presidential candidate that is not a mainstream figure.
“I think our Democrat friends are likely to nominate someone who is really out of the mainstream of American thought and will make it easier for a president who is presiding over a growing economy,” Romney said to the group.
